The Alvar Aalto Academy organizes international seminars, training sessions and debates, and holds lectures given by international speakers. The most traditional of these events are the Alvar Aalto Symposiums. The Symposiums are held every three years and alternate with the Alvar Aalto Design Seminars and the Alvar Aalto Researchers’ Network Seminars.
